A Little Bit of This and That

I was in the kitchen making dinner when Hayden comes running into the room screaming, “MOM! MOM! MOM!” I stopped what I was doing and gave him my full attention.

“What is it, Hayden? What’s wrong?”

He paused for a moment to catch his breath and then said, “Mom, when it is warm about again, can we PHULEEASE go swimming?”

I was really kind of dumbfounded by his question especially since at the moment he asked the question the wind whipped snow up at the window. “Um, sure.” I answered.

“Ok, cool. Thanks, mom.” And he ran out of the room.

Weird. My kids are totally weird.

Jake is the only one of the little kids that can open doors. So it makes sense that when Quinn and Claire go into a room, the close the door and ultimately get themselves stuck in a room. I don’t understand this because as soon as the door closes, they bang on it to be opened again.

Jake has taken this to be his call to action. When he hears banging on the door, he will stop what he is doing, stand up and say, “I coming guys! I will save you!”

Then he runs to whatever room they are stuck in and opens the door (aka saves the day).

I was in the Costco parking lot, loading all my groceries into the back of the van when I noticed that my hand was wet. I looked around the chart but I didn’t see a puddle. I sniffed my hand but it didn’t smell like anything. So then I did something that really is almost too gross to write. I licked the wet spot in my hand.

Seriously, what in the world was I thinking?

I had no idea what this wet substance was on my hand so I stuck my tongue out and put it in my mouth. It could have been dog pee or any number of things that are not suitable for tasting or going in one’s mouth. Thank goodness it was orange juice.

What am I two years old? Seriously, what is wrong with me?

How many people can say they have eaten a piece of pizza as big as their head?

All our kids have blue eye, although Claire’s are the most brilliant. The boys are dark blue eyes.
And yes, Jeff and I do both have blue eyes but Jeff’s brother has really dark brown eyes. I thought it would have been cool if one of the kids had brown eyes but that didn’t happen.

Love it! With the licking the hand thing I believe it is 1 of 2 things. Either 1 – you are a bit brainwashed by your 2 year olds you are now doing what they do or 2 – you are a ICU nurse knowing that nothing you lick off your hand, no matter how gross and disgusting, is likely to kill you!

Lol! I can’t believe you licked it!!! Too funny.
And at least you don’t have to rescue the kids when they are stuck in the room.. love it when the siblings take care of each other.

OMGOSH! I am seriously laughing about you licking your hand! I actually had to just read it to Russ so he doesn’t think I’m nuts laughing at my laptop. Of course, when i told him, : This is my friend, jen, that I am meeting next week… he now thinks you are nuts and so am I. LOL
(I hope we laugh til my sides hurt in baltimore!)

I love this post, it is all those little disjointed things that make life entertaining. That piece of pizza is huge and Claire’s eyes are gorgeous. Dropping by from Mama Kat’s.
